A Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) is a type of wireless network technology that originated in Europe but is also used throughout most parts of the world. Designed to better moderate levels of service security, the system helps authenticate subscribers, where GSM phones make use of SIM cards to identify users’ accounts.
Companies such as iQsim provide a range of powerful GSM devices that natively support the capability to be connected to the company’s SIM server architecture, IRON Suite. Additionally, iQsim boasts a range of GSM gateways for SMS and call termination, as well as for Quality of Service (QoS) Mobile Network Testing and machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies.
Last month, the company revealed its all-new and enhanced Mobile Robot, an unattended and automated test execution platform that directly addresses common issues in QoS testing.
iQsim’s Mobile Robot for QoS testing boasts:
- An open, Linux-based platform
- A command-based interface for rapid integration
- Hardware level APIs for scripting
- Support for virtual SIM and local SIM modes
- Up to 16 2G and/or 3G channels
- Easy integration within existing environment
iQsim packages its renowned IRON Suite with an IP to GSM gateway, which can be equipped with up to 16 GSM or UMTS engines. By bundling M400 gateways with its IRON Suite, iQsim provides an ideal solution to accomplish professional mobile call termination.
Further, key benefits of the solution include:
- Tri-Band, Quad-Band or UMTS modules
- Eight to 16 ports in 1U
- Dynamic IP Support
- Fully compatible with IRON Suite SIM Management solution
- Easy configuration and deployment with IRON Service Controller
A second solution for mobile call termination can be found in iQsim’s UMTS/GSM Gateways, where the company packages its IRON Suite with its new QuesCom (News - Alert) (News - Alert) 400 GSM gateways. The QuesCom 400 gateway is an IP to GSM gateway which can be equipped with up to 16 GSM or universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) engines.

- SIM Management for Mobile Termination
To offer better rates on local mobile networks, Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs) have to optimize Call Termination costs and maximize SIM cards usage. - SIM Management for M2M Platform Validation
The M2M solutions deployment is very complex and difficult to test and validate in the lab. Gateways and probes on-site deployment are subject to numerous constraints such as GSM 3G coverage, unexpected multi-operator roaming, international roaming, tariff and service restrictions. - SIM Management for Mobile Testing
In order for a Mobile Network Operator to be successful, reduce churn and increase customer loyalty, the need to shift from testing network to perform a complete “end to end” QoS Testing has become obvious.
